Today was the day, both Sam and Riley were anxiously waiting to find out if they got accepted or not. Since they were waiting on the news today Palmer didn't send them out knowing that they would be too distracted to jump out of a helicopter to rescue or capture someone so he sent Lina and the other people that he was in charge of to take over their job.

Riley couldn't stop tapping his foot, they were outside trying to busy themselves until Palmer called them into his tent but it wasn't working for either Sam or Riley although Sam was better at hiding it. "Are you okay?" Sam asks as he was collecting some leftover trash. "No, I'm not. I'm stressed, are you not?" Riley knew that Sam was nervous without needing to ask. "I am, very actually but I'm trying to busy my mind. You know, whatever happens, we're doing together. Palmer never said we couldn't turn it down if we get it so if you wanna do and I don't get in then you should." Sam said as he walked over towards one of the benches that were by the spot that they were using as a fire pit.

Riley scoffed and brushed his growing hair down. "If you get in, I'm not doing it. Point blank." Riley smirked at Sam as he sat down next to him, they couldn't kiss or hold hands because they never knew who would walk up but they still could sit next to each other. "Do you want to get in?" Sam asks suddenly looking towards Riley's face from where he was looking at the scenery in front of him. "I don't know, one thing that's making me weary is that we don't know what it is. Like why are they keeping it a secret, you know?" Sam nods in agreement with Riley. "I get it, I guess that they just want to be careful but it makes me somewhat worried that this project isn't completely legal."

He squints his eyes trying to think if the government would do what Sam is saying but then realizes they for sure would do some giant secret government op which puts both Sam and Riley at risk. Riley opened his mouth to say something but they were interrupted by Palmer sticking his head out of the giant tent. "Wilson, Diaz. Come here." Riley and Sam looked towards each other quickly before jumping up and walking towards Palmer, he closed the tent behind them as they walked through.

"Sit." Palmer gestured towards the chairs in front of his desk, Riley stared at the metal box that was off to the side. Riley wasn't in here a lot but he never noticed a box in here before he straightened his back and stared at Palmer when he sat down, he kept his hand on his leg as to not bounce it from anxiety. "I'm sure you both are wondering why you're here, well I'm sure you both understand why at least."

Sam and Riley nodded watching as Palmer leaned back clasping his hands in front of him. "Both of you have been accepted, but before I can tell you what it is you can have to sign these contracts saying you'll do it. You can decline of course." Palmer leaned forward and slid over two contracts with a pen on top of them, Sam gulped as he looked over at Riley who picked up the pen hesitantly. Riley blew out a breath before he scanned the contract, he signed his name before sighing and sliding it back to Palmer who smiled at him.

Palmer put the contract in a file, Riley stared at Sam. For a split second, he didn't think that Sam was going to sign, Riley wouldn't blame him if he didn't. They don't even know what it's for, it's a big thing to go through all this trouble to keep what the project is a secret. He resisted the urge to let out a sigh of relief when he saw Sam signing, he handed it back to Palmer who nodded and sat back again after putting the contract in the folder. "Okay, so the project that you are a part of now is testing slash using EXO-7 propulsion wingsuits which were created by the Air National Gaurd. They were created to help paratroopers like you guys be able to carry out your pararescue missions where helicopters cannot be used. Whether it's because we'll be shot down or it's just too dangerous. This version is called Falcon, so it's EXO-7 Falcon. Sam, you're Falcon Wilson and Riley you're Falcon Diaz. Now you two are going to be able to learn the controls and practice for a little bit before having to go up in the air for missions."

Riley let the information wash over him, he wasn't sure what he thought the project was but it most definitely wasn't this and by the look on Sam's face he wasn't expecting anything like this to happen either. Palmer suddenly stood up, Riley's eyes widened a fraction before he stood up so quickly the chair could've toppled over, Sam followed but much more gracefully. "Now, I'm sure you've noticed the box in the corner." Riley nods and follows Sam and Palmer over to the large metal box off to the side. Sam looks at Palmer who nods with a smile so he and Riley slowly unlock it and start to lift the lid, the two men let out identical gasps when they see what is inside. They're jet-pack-looking things with folded-up wings attached to them. "Oh my god, is this safe?" Riley can't help but ask looking at Palmer who chuckles but nods. "Yes, they've been tested and approved. Even though I didn't know what it was I knew it was machinery so I pressured them immensely telling them I'm not going to let my guys on something that has hardly been tested. They've assured me that it's safe." Riley hesitantly ran his finger over the metal in awe, he couldn't believe he was gonna go up in the air with this, with his boyfriend no less.
